Version 13 of Next.js, a well-established React framework from the Vercel company, was released last week. The announcement was made at the Next.js Conf and took the community by storm. Developers worldwide spread the news about the features and goodies announced live on October 25th. Now, as the dust slowly settles, we can go through what's new in Next.js 13.
In this post, we'll use two of Elixir's most powerful features - pattern matching and recursion - to sanitize a string by removing invalid Unicode "Specials" characters. Let's dive straight in!
In this post, we will implement a basic ActionText table editor for your Rails application. We'll learn how: This article draws inspiration from the excellent 'Adding Tables to ActionText With Stimulus.js' blog post from 2020. That was written before the advent of Turbo though, which we can expect to simplify matters quite a bit. Let's get going!
In part one of this series, we successfully built a TypeScript Lambda on the AWS cloud. But we left a lot of room for improvement in terms of the developer experience. For starters, the Lambda didn’t run on a local machine, which is cumbersome. The code we wrote is also not testable, which makes refactoring hard or, at least, dangerous. In this take, let’s focus on improving the developer experience. The goal is to make the code more robust and easier to work with. Ready?
RubyCritic provides visual reports highlighting code smells, code structure, ease of testing, and test coverage in your Ruby application. It's in active development, with new code analysis tools often being introduced as new features. It's well worth keeping track of RubyCritic's releases. This article will touch on some of RubyCritic's benefits, its dependencies, and how to read its code reports. Let's get going!
The need to manipulate strings comes up quite often, whether it's to validate user-provided values or transform text into structured data that can be used programmatically. Most often, we'll reach for regular expressions to accomplish this task, but sometimes there's a better solution to the problem: parser combinators. In this two-part article, we'll explore how they work. Before moving on, let's define what 'parsing' is: Source: Wikipedia.
Do you have a Node.js project that you want to put into production but don't know how? In this tutorial, you'll learn how to deploy a Node.js and MongoDB application to Heroku. Before we get started, let's take a very quick look at Heroku and MongoDB.
Phoenix LiveView 0.18 just shipped, with lots of new goodies to make developing LiveView an even better experience. In this post, I'll take you through a lesser-known new feature - LiveView's new special HTML attributes - and show you how to write cleaner HTML with :if, :for, and :let. When we're done, you'll have an eloquent, ergonomic, and dynamic function component you can use to render a list anywhere in your LiveView app. Let's dive in!
Alongside performance and usability, you should always focus on security when creating any web application. Keep in mind that hacking techniques are constantly evolving, just as fast as technology is. So you must know how to secure your users and their data. This article will show you how to create a secure Rails application. The framework is known to be secure by default, but the default configuration is not enough to let you sleep well at night.
The XML data format has been around since 1996. It was first envisioned as a lingua franca (bridging language) for data to be serialized and read into completely disparate systems (with different programming languages, operating systems, and even hardware). It has been wildly successful in that goal. In software, though, 26 years is like a lifetime — and in hardware, it's an eternity.
